Introduction: Mac Libs is a program for studying grammar in an amusing way.You can create story templates with holes that are filled in with specific grammatical constructs (nouns, verbs and so on), or any arbitrary categories (names, colors and so on).Words can be typed in at runtime, or chosen at random from a dictionary.Grammatical rules can be programmed in a HyperCard-like language. For example, the "verb past tense" rule will convert any verb to past tense. If the rules are correct and the appropriate words are chosen, the generated story will be grammatically correct, though frequently silly, and always amusing.This is a fun way to learn about language usage.
